Goin' Home

Dm               I've been on the road for too long years
G   C Dm     My work is done here. I'm goin' home.
Dm               I've travelled across this country
G   C Dm     I've seen a lot of things. I'm goin' home.
Dm               From congestion in the cities
G   C Dm     to the vistas at the seas. I'm goin home.
Dm               I saw floods down in Florida.
G   C Dm     and droughts in California. I'm goin' home.
Dm               I made friends on the road
G   C Dm     but I'm still all alone. I'm goin' home.
Dm               I hear my home callin' me
G   C Dm     and I can't wait to see. I'm goin' home.

Chorus:
F   G          Though home is where the heart is,
C G Dm      there's something to be said
C   G          'bout bein' in my abode
F G Dm      and sleepin' in my own bed.

Dm               I've sailed across the ocean.
G   C Dm     I've trekked across the land. I'm goin' home.
Dm               I saw bird migrations
G   C Dm     flyin' in my direction. I'm goin' home.
Dm               I was tempted by the flesh.
G   C Dm     By a preacher I was blessed. I'm goin' home.
Dm               The homeless I saw can't sing this song.
G   C Dm     I know where I belong. I'm goin' home.
Dm               It's possible that don't matter.
G   C Dm     Who's to say who's sadder? I'm goin' home.
Dm               I hear my home callin' me
G   C Dm     and I can't wait to see. I'm goin' home.

{chorus}

Dm               I saw so many people
G   C Dm     and they all are real. I'm goin' home.
Dm               There were some who helped me out
G   C Dm     and others I gotta doubt. I'm goin' home.
Dm               A rich man gave me a dollar.
G   C Dm     There were poor people livin' in squalor. I'm goin' home.
Dm               A child gave me a smile.
G   C Dm     I've only gotta mile. I'm goin' home.
Dm               It's no mystery
G   C Dm     where I wanna be. I'm goin' home.
Dm               I hear my home callin' me.
G   C Dm     It's my destiny. I'm goin' home.
